Twelve horses worked with these incredible trainers over the past three months — six mustangs and six others — and the results were nothing short of inspiring. If these horses had been placed in paid training, the value of that time would exceed $36,000 — an incredible gift donated back to the horses and their futures. 
From building first trust to showcasing incredible freestyle performances, the Showdown highlighted just how much rescue horses can achieve with the right start. Because of this group’s dedication, horses found homes, gained confidence, and inspired everyone who came to cheer them on.
We are so grateful for every trainer who stepped up for the Showdown. This group shot says it all — teamwork, talent, and heart. Thank you for making the 2025 Showdown possible!
